The Lyric Theatre, with Robert N. Taylor and wife Lottie as proprietors, was listed in the city directory from 1911-27 and was delisted in 1928. It was also included on the Sanborn Insurance Co. maps of 1911.

The Lyric probably opened in 1910. An ad for Power’s projection equipment in the September 2, 1911, issue of The Moving Picture World included this encomium from the Houze Bros.:

“‘We have used the No. 6 machine for over a year and it has given us the best of satisfaction. Our patrons tell us that they have never seen a clearer or more steady picture.’ Pomona, Cal., June 10, 1911. Houze Bros., Lyric Theatre.”
